Did You Know?

Mathematics is full of fascinating facts and I can only give a small flavour of them here. I hope
one or two of them will make you think "Wow!"
1. Language
George Bernard Shaw said Britain and America are "two nations separated by a common
language", but did you know that this happens even in mathematics which is supposed to be a
language all of its own. The differences aren't confined to spelling (as in centre/center).
British American
Maths Math I don't know how this came about but, unlike the
next example, no-one I know in the UK uses the
US form
Soluble Solvable A specialized term in group theory
I came across this one quite recently. The

definitions are completely reversed:
Trapezium trapezoid Quadrilateral with one pair of sides parallel
trapezoid trapezium Quadrilateral with no sides parallel
right-angled triangle right triangle
sine rule law of sines A trigonometric formula for triangles
Formulae Formulas The US version of the plural of formula is taking

over rapidly in Britain
billion = 1012 billion = 109 In Britain this battle has been lost many years
ago. A British billion used to mean a million
million but its use for finance has ensured that the
US thousand million has taken over. There were
similar differences for trillion etc
There must be many other differences. Do you know of any?

An Interesting Fact
 =3.2 By Law
In 1897 the General Assembly of the State of Indiana in the USA tried to pass
legislation that appears to say that is to be 3.2, though the Bill does not make
it very clear. On top of that they had the nerve to try to get everyone else to pay
royalties for this 'discovery'.
The Bill was referred to the House Committee on Canals, which was also referred
to as the Committee on Swamp Lands! By chance a professor of mathematics
happened to be present during a debate and heard an ex-teacher saying "The case
is perfectly simple. If we pass this bill which establishes a new and correct value
for , the author offers to our state without cost the use of his discovery and its
free publication in our school text books, while everyone else must pay him a
royalty." Fortunately, the professor was able to teach the senators about
mathematics and the Bill was stopped becoming an object for ridicule.
